I wish I would’ve recognized
The life you had me sit beside
The daffodils are at your toes
That you planted and never watched them grow
They grow, They grow
They grow, They grow
I wish I would’ve recognized
The bags that grew under your eyes
I know you haven’t slept in weeks
All those drinks you had because of me
I wish I’d never recognized
The truth I always lay beside
Where everything can come undone
I watch you sleep until the morning sun
I know, I know
I know, I know
Lay me on the table and tell me what I’ve done
When I was twenty-three this looked a lot more fun
Until I saw how shit works out and everyone runs
Why should you care if I don’t care at all?
I think I’m finally wearing thin
Getting old and I’m giving in
I’m not proud of what’s been happening
Getting drunk and always staying in
You said that I’m your honey bee
You always smile when you’re next to me
And after all the work is done
When I’m too tired to talk to anyone
I go home, homea
I go home, home
Lay me on the table and tell me what I’ve done
When I was twenty-three this looked a lot more fun
Until I saw how shit works out and everyone runs
Why should you care if I don’t care at all?
